Ristorante Centrale Pizzeria — Restaurant in Venice

A rather disappointing experience after seeing such great reviews. The pizza was relatively good tasting and nice size but a bit soggy from the toppings I'm assuming? I also was surprised with whole pit olives which were not translated correctly on the menu and I didn't anticipate receiving. The server was a bit pushy and trying to constantly upsell me and I was watching him give better service to other tables with more people. I didn't get a b&b plate or vinegar, and had to ask for bread when I saw him bring other tables the full set up. Sorry buddy I'm not going to eat an 80€ meal by myself at 5pm. I asked about desserts and told him I was a chef and that my favorite dessert was tiramisu and he suggested the chocolate cake and ice cream. So I went with that. Cake was barely luke warm and gritty on the inside with the mouth feel of crystallized sugar. Also, the vanilla ice cream had a strange flavor and was yellow like cheap off brands at the grocery store. I had a couple bites but it wasn't very good and definitely not worth the calories to finish or the 8€. He asked if I liked it and I told him not really and then just tried to bring me a shot of limoncello instead of taking it off the bill, which I didn't want or take. The Bailey's on the rocks was the best part of my meal. Would not recommend or return for a 2nd go. Lastly, he made sure to tell me before he processed my credit card that the gratuity wasn't included and asked me how much I wanted to add. I also took half my pizza to go because I wanted to get dessert and he just smashed it all into a tiny container with a piece of foil so he didn't have to give me a pizza box. An unpleasant, expensive and underwhelming dinner experience...

My other half and I were cluelessly looking around for a somewhat authentic Italian eating experience, and through hopelessly searching around Google for "pizzeria" we stumbled upon this magnificent Ristorante. As two English people that speak little to no Italian (although we do try), we were immediately welcomed into the restaurant with a warm embrace from our friendly host. From the first bite of bread to the last sweet savour of the tiramisu, this restaurant was an absolute delight. The waiting staff were happy to help with recommendations, and were patient with my poor attempts at speaking Italian. The food came in perfect timing, not too quick that I thought it wasn't cooked, but quick enough after one course to immediately enjoy another. I'm new to the idea of a first course/second course meal as the Italians do, but it timed perfectly with my other halfs pizza, and was the perfect amount as a large English man that enjoys his food. I cannot speak highly enough of this fantastic little ristorante, and I will certainly be making a hurried visit through the front doors upon my next trip to Venice. Grazie mille Ristorante...
